Dear Friends, I have been working in a private company for 3 years (continuing with service); my company and I contribute to PF. Now, I need some money, and I have only PF as a source. Is it possible for me to withdraw some money from my account? Please give your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Samuel,
Withdrawal of PF accumulation while in service is not possible. But there are provisions for taking 'Advance' from PF accumulation while in service. Details mentioned below will help you. Your tenure and reason for which you need advance need to be looked into.
